Douchebag of the Day
Representative Patrick McHenry (R-NC) is a vile little shitbag. He’s a self-hating closeted gay man who regularly appears on the House floor to simper and scream about how teh gayz are the worst thing ever (video) yet owns a house with another man. And he even managed to get himselves entangled in a gay murder-suicide scandal.
There’s a great video of Barney Frank bitch-slapping McHenry on the House floor here. The often clueless Wolf Blitzer takes him apart here.
You can read about McHenry’s latest bit of wankery after the jump.
Think Progress reports:
During a public appearance on Saturday, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) belittled a U.S. soldier in Iraq who was following orders and wouldn’t let McHenry go to the gym without the proper credentials. McHenry referred to the guard as a “two-bit security guard“:
We spent the night in the Green Zone, in the poolhouse of one of Saddam’s palaces. A little weird, I got to be honest with you. But I felt safe. And so in the morning, I got up early — not that I make this a great habit — but I went to the gym because I just couldn’t sleep and everything else. Well, sure enough, the guard wouldn’t let me in. Said I didn’t have the correct credentials.
It’s 5:00 in the morning. I haven’t had sleep. I was not very happy with this two-bit security guard. So you know, I said, “I want to see your supervisor.” Thirty minutes later, the supervisor wasn’t happy with me, they escort me back to my room. It happens. I guess I didn’t need to work out anyway,
You know, McHenry is only 32 years old - he’s young enough to volunteer to go over there and fix the stuff he thinks is screwed up. Army, Navy, Marines? Well, maybe he has other priorities.

I bet the Army would waive the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy just for him, they’re so desperate for warm bodies.
